I'm a researcher for Beijing-based Microsoft ATC Studios. We are currently investigating how software physics can be applied to user interfaces for a variety of platforms from tabletops (Surface), phones, to conventional Office-style productivity applications. We are developing our own physics infrastructure to aid in this investigation and would like to find an intern who can help us take this further. We are looking for someone who is well versed in related topics such as computer graphics, physics engines, simulations, and so on. The candidate should be strong on math/physics/and geometry as well as be able to realize their ideas in code. A portfolio of previous work is desirable.

Prefer candidates from within Mainland China, but will consider exceptional students who are willing to work in Beijing for a few months. If interested, please contact me at smcdirm@microsoft.com .
